Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare three shallow bowls for coating station: first bowl with flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder; second bowl with beaten eggs; third bowl with Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, and paprika.
  2. Pat chicken breasts dry, season both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour mixture, dip in eggs, then press firmly into Parmesan breadcrumb mixture for even coating.
  3. Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook coated chicken breasts 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove and set aside.
  4. Reduce heat to medium, add 2 tablespoons butter to same skillet. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up browned bits from pan bottom. Add heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Simmer 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Return chicken to skillet, spoon sauce over top. Garnish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor, pound chicken for even thickness, don't overcrowd skillet, serve immediately for crispy texture, can broil for extra crispiness
